共同点：R.E.A.农村高速互联网接入
Commonalities: The R.E.A. and High-Speed Rural Internet Access
摘要：
本文探讨了农村电气化管理局的创建和类似的困境，提供一个负担得起的基础设施，高速互联网接入的地方，利润激励不存在之间的共性。在R.E.A.的情况下，在美国农村地区，电力市场已经失败，需要一个积极的联邦倡议来连接，作为失踪的激励措施被确定和探索。然后，我们通过消费者目前和未来如何获得宽带互联网服务来研究农村电气化和农村高速互联网接入之间的激励不足的相似性。被认为是1996年的电信法和联邦通信委员会创建的监管环境。虽然联邦通信委员会被要求（第254.b.3条）采取监管措施，以确保所有美国人都能以可比的价格访问互联网，但农村电气化和高速互联网接入的历史相似性和比较分析表明，普遍服务的目标不太可能在不久的将来实现。由于市场现实和1996年《电信法》中的竞争限制，目前存在着阻碍建立这种网络的监管措施。最后，我们提出了一个问题，即是否有一个相当于R.E.A.的联邦努力。需要确保人口稀少地区的居民在21世纪的头几十年不会像他们在20世纪30年代的前辈那样处于相对不利的地位。本文最后提出了一项建议，以加快部署宽带基础设施在美国农村地区。
英文摘要：
This paper explores commonalities between the creation of the Rural Electrification Administration and the similar dilemma of providing an affordable infrastructure for high-speed Internet access in places where profit incentives do not exist. In the case of the R.E.A., the necessity for an aggressive federal initiative to wire rural America, where the market for electricity had failed, is revisited as the missing incentives are identified and explored. We then examine the incentive-poor similarities between rural electrification and rural high-speed Internet access through how consumers currently and prospectively gain access to broadband Internet service. The regulatory environment created by the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and the Federal Communications Commission is considered. Although the FCC is required (Section 254.b.3) to take regulatory measures to ensure comparable and affordable access to the Internet for all Americans, the historical similarities and comparative analysis of rural electrification and high-speed Internet access suggests the goal of universal service is unlikely to be met in the near future. Regulatory disincentives to build such networks are present, driven in part by market realities and in part by competitive restrictions in the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Finally, we pose the question of whether a federal effort equivalent to the R.E.A. is needed to ensure that residents of sparsely populated areas, like their predecessors in the 1930s, are not comparatively disadvantaged in the first decades of the 21st century. The paper concludes with a proposal to accelerate the deployment of broadband infrastructure in rural America.
